UNFAMILIAR BEACH - DAY 1 XCU - A MAN’S BLOODSHOT EYE, as it scans something... WIDEN to find SAYID, sitting in the sand, alone -- staring at a photograph in his hand, running his fingers over it. HIS POV - It’s one of the retrieved photos from the fuselage in “Walkabout” -- The mysterious ARAB WOMAN. EXTREME WIDE SHOT to see just how alone he is. The beach is empty as far as the eye can see as Sayid shoves the photo into his nearby backpack, and stands... CLOSER AGAIN as he stares down the lonely stretch of beach before him, then stops when something catches his eye: A SMALL LOOP OF CABLE, jutting out of the sand, the sun GLINTING off exposed metal wiring where the coating’s eroded. Sayid moves to it, reaches down to pick it up. When he does - A STAGGERING LENGTH OF CABLE bursts out of the sand, running in a straight line from the ocean, running toward the jungle. ON SAYID -- he reacts, stunned. What the hell? He snatches up his bag and begins to track the wire into the jungle. 2 INT. SAWYER’S TENT - MEANWHILE 2 CLOSE ON a bandaged arm as fingers slowly pry up the adhesive tape around the dressing. SAWYER (O.S.) Ow! -- Easy, jackass! Widen to find JACK sitting next to a reclining SAWYER, removing his bandage. Fresh gauze and tape lie beside Jack. JACK You want it easy, quit moaning. * I’ve got to change these bandages -- SAWYER Yeah, well, try not taking my skin off with ‘em. www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PRODUCTION DRAFT) 10/4/04 2. 2 (CONT'D) 2 JACK Hold. Still. Sawyer eyes Jack a beat as he continues easing off the tape. SAWYER So, considerin’ we pretty much hate * each other, how’d I score the house * call, Dr. Quinn? * (then, baiting him) Tryin’ to ease your conscience? * And Jack does his best not to take that bait -- * JACK My conscience is fine, thanks. * SAWYER JACK Yeah? -- Yeah. SAWYER ‘Course -- what you got to feel * guilty about? You let that damn * Arab torture me. Stood by and watched. So now you just patch me * up and you get your ticket into * heaven. Only reason you’re here * is... * JACK * I’m here -- * (locks eyes with Sawyer; * intense) * Because no one else wants anything * to do with you. Sawyer takes that in a moment, soberly. Then... SAWYER She does. Jack glances up at him on that. Then, he stands and tosses the fresh bandaging and tape he brought onto Sawyer’s lap. JACK Change your own damn bandages. He turns and goes. OFF SAWYER - glaring after him... www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PRODUCTION DRAFT) 10/4/04 3. 3 EXT. BEACH - CONTINUOUS 3 ON KATE, feeding wood into the signal fire Sayid created as she stares off down the beach, keeping a kind of vigil... JACK (O.S.) Looking for someone...? Kate turns to see Jack coming up behind her. JACK (CONT’D) -- Or just admiring the view? Still harboring anger, Kate turns back toward the beach. KATE It’s been two days, Jack. JACK What? KATE Two days since Sayid took off on * his own. * (beat) * I keep thinking I’m gonna look up * and see him coming back. * ON JACK, registering that, and feeling badly about it. JACK He’ll come back when he finds what * he’s looking for. The French * transmission... * KATE * He wasn’t looking for anything -- * He left because of what happened... * because of what he did. * Jack shakes his head. Got it from Sawyer -- now her too? * JACK It was an accident -- * KATE (sharply) -- Yeah, well, accidents happen when you torture somebody, Jack. Jack can only look at her, feeling ashamed. Kate looks back at him for a beat, maybe feeling a little sorry -- * www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PINK) 10/5/04 4. 3 (CONT'D) 3 KATE (CONT’D) I’m worried about him. He’s out there. Alone. JACK (comforting) Sayid’s a trained soldier, Kate. He can take care of himself. 4 EXT. JUNGLE - DAY 4 WITH SAYID as he tracks the cable deeper into the jungle, until he, suddenly, comes to an abrupt halt -- and slowly lowers himself to a crouch in order to get a good look at something at mid-calf level. REVERSE ON HIM as he leans in. RACK FOCUS to reveal... A TRIP WIRE - fishing line, stretched across his path. Clearly a booby-trap. ON SAYID - HOLY SHIT! Somebody is or was here. His head snaps around, scanning the area, then rises. After a beat, he, carefully, steps over the wire and takes another step. CLOSE ON HIS FOOT as -- CLICK! SAYID looks down, realizing he’s stepped on a pressure trigger. What happens next happens instantly: he curses * himself under his breath -- * SAYID Ya Allah-- -- as a noose under his foot ensnares him and he’s yanked off * his feet, into the air. As the rope goes taut, his body pendulums HARD into a tree. SLAM! -- QUICK CLOSE UP of his thigh getting impaled on a broken branch jutting from the tree, causing him to cry out. As he swings away from the tree, he takes the branch with him... WIDE ON SAYID, hanging twenty feet off the ground, swinging * upside down, the broken branch protruding from his leg -- His SCREAMS piercing the quiet jungle... BLACK OUT. END OF TEASER www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PINK) 10/5/04 5. ACT ONE 5 INT. THE VALLEY - EVENING 5 CLOSE ON MEAT ON A SPIT, as a knife carves off slices. WIDEN to see LOCKE doing the butchering as he serves a few waiting people, including HURLEY, holding airplane trays and whatever else passes as a plate or bowl in this place. AN ESTABLISHING PAN ACROSS - We find the dozen denizens of the valley, including MICHAEL and CHARLIE, eating their dinners, tearing away the fatty grizzle. While some may sit * here quietly -- depressed -- others seem, considering * everything, to be doing all right: some are talking.* CHARLIE, still going through late stage withdrawal, puts down his barely touched food, clearly having no appetite as SHANNON walks by, holding an empty water bottle. We follow her as she crosses to the spring. We find WALT there, feeding pieces of meat to VINCENT who then starts lapping up water in the pool. ON SHANNON, as she sees that. SHANNON (to Walt) Ew -- Get him out of there! WALT What? SHANNON The dog, Webster! It’s drinking our water! MICHAEL (O.S.) Hey -- MICHAEL steps in MICHAEL (CONT’D) Do not yell at my kid. What’s the problem? SHANNON My problem? I walked all the way from the beach to get something to drink... and your animal’s drooling in our water supply. Hurley passes by with two trays of boar meat. www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PINK) 10/5/04 6. 5 (CONT'D) 5 HURLEY Y’know, dogs’ mouths are cleaner than humans’. SHANNON Nobody asked you. * HURLEY shakes his head and continues on as VINCENT suddenly hops into the pool, wading around to SHANNON’s horror. SHANNON (CONT’D) Oh my God -- DO SOMETHING! 6 INT. THE VALLEY - INFIRMARY CAVE - CONTINUOUS 6 ON JACK, examining the side of a shirtless SULLIVAN (late forties, thin). SUN is there, too, mashing aloe leaves in a bowl, showing concern about all the yelling outside. Hurley enters with the food. Jack glances at him. JACK What’s going on out there? HURLEY Ah, you know, the usual... People yelling at each other over nothing. SULLIVAN So, what do you think, Doc? This rash... It’s bad, isn’t it? Some kinda jungle disease... or-- JACK Hives. SULLIVAN Hives. What is that, like, a poison ivy-- JACK It’s a common rash, Sullivan. Brought on by heat. And stress. Just try to relax. It’ll clear up. SULLIVAN You sure? I mean... It really itches. And... burns a little. SUN (in Korean) It’s ready. www.pressexecute.com LOST "Solitary" (PINK) 10/5/04 7. 6 (CONT'D) 6 Jack turns to Sun who hands him the bowl. He nods gratefully to her and she goes. Jack passes the bowl to Sullivan. JACK Here. This should help with the itching. And the burning. Just... try to get your mind off it. SULLIVAN Uh... O-okay. Thanks. He turns and exits. After he’s gone, Hurley hands Jack a tray of food. As they move to sit... HURLEY “Get your mind off it?” What else is that dude gonna do but stress? JACK I’ve got enough on my plate without having to treat hypochondriacs.
